The Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Thinline has a 24.75" scale length as opposed to the standard 25.5" scale length for Tele's and Strat's. The VM Thinline's neck is also ruffly the same scale length as a Les Paul.

I love mine and it's my 2nd favorite neck after an AllParts TMO-V (which has the normal scale length). For me, The perfect neck would be a TMO-V with a 24.75" scale but I would have to have such a neck custom made.

Please note that the Squier's neck is not very "chunky", so if you like chunky necks, you may not like it.

Squier Jagmaster is 24 inch.
Also Old Peavey T15 T 20 are even shorter 23 1/2 i think.

I have a CV duo sonic and a Jagmaster, and have played a Peavey T 15 many years ago. There are older Mexican Duos also with I think 22 1/2, very tiny, you really have to have small hands.

My dream is the Ricky with 20 3/4...I have no idea how John Lennon played that one with his man hands. This is possibly the only scale length i could really play rock vamps on in F position using a barre E chords.

i had a '78 Fender Musicmaster...one pup in the neck, 24" scale...sounded sooo sweet...i really wish i hadn't sold it, but it was to fund a $450 '74 SG purchase...i figured that wasn't ever gunna happen again.

as soon as i have the scratch and find the right one...i'm going to buy it!

I've got a danelectro U2 56 RI that is 24" scale
My wife has a Lil Martin that is 23" scale (very comfy to play sitting in a chair on the porch!)
And I just bought (and probably made the mistake of buying) a little mini LP style guitar on ebay. It's a 19" scale....It will be here today, we'll see if that's just too small!

I will probably end up buying a mini squier to travel with but would love to get something a little nicer, but don't know what. I know that there is a Brian May Mini out there but at almost $400...yikes, might have to build something custom!

+1 on this..may actualy be TOO small for most adults, but they sound good and have excelent build quailty for much less $ than any other US made guitar. The Patriots that replaced this model are 24" ( I belive) and would also warrant a look.

Jaguars are cool, but I'd rather have a Mustang and put some decent pickups in it. I have had Jaguars and Mustangs in the past and I just couldn't get over the dam bridge/vibrato on Jaguars. I always ended up locking the Jaguars vibrato and swapping the bridge for a Mustang one. The only thing I really liked about the Jaguar I had was the pickups I put in it. I've always considered buying a nice old Mustang (they are still affordable) and saving the pickups and getting some custom wound to sound how I'd like.

Fender really needs to bring out a new shorter scale guitar to address the market for a decent bolt-on, singlecoil with a smaller neck.
